In 1960s Denmark, a group of misfits led by the charismatic and cunning Egon Olsen embarks on a new adventure that promises to be spectacularly disastrous. After a small slip-up during their last heist, Egon is determined to regain his status as the king of crime. Along with his loyal companions, the clumsy Benny and the devoted Klaus, they plan to pull off a job that could change their lives forever.
The plot thickens when the three friends decide to steal a substantial amount of money hidden in a garbage truck, convinced that the path to success is paved with ingenuity and audacity. However, what seems to be a perfectly crafted plan turns into a comedy of errors, where circumstances turn against them in unexpected and amusing ways.
As they try to evade the police and their own inept mistakes, the three struggle not only for survival in the criminal underworld but also to keep their friendship intact. With a mix of absurd humor, outrageous situations, and a touch of nostalgia for a simpler time, this film captures the essence of a group of outlaws who, despite their failures, never give up on their quest for greatness. A classic comedy that combines Danish wit with an irreverent look at the life of crime.
